print a report twice (or change print copies)

[Dustin]

Is it possible to change the number of copies to print for a report? I need to print a report twice. I'm using the web based report viewer.

Hello Dustin,

If you are printing from the print menu, you can change the number of copies from the print settings window (screenshot).

If you are trying to print the report programmatically, you should use the ReportProcessor.PrintReport Method and supply it with the instances of a ReportSource and a PrinterSettings objects. The latter has a PrinterSettings.Copies Property which you can use to set the number of copies you want to print.

If you need additional assistance please elaborate further on your environment and scenario.

Keep in mind I am using the web report viewer and invoking print from Javascript. Are you sure there is an option to provider settings with the javscript printReport() method?

Hi Dustin,

In case of the web report viewer to print we use JavaScript for Acrobat to invoke browsers PDF plugin print. However setting the number of copies is considered unsafe and not supported by the JavaScript for Acrobat.
